Tomorrow when the War began

It has its moments, the limited action which is suspenseful and nicely filmed. It also does not glorify the violence.
However, it's not really for over 25's, and is filled out with to much frivolous, and boring romantic situations, there is a scene where the girls are talking about a boy that one of them likes while they are about to blow something up. Such a shame that the good parts have to compete with Aussie soap situations

6 out of 10
Don't expect a Red Dawn Remake

By the way if Hollywood need a young Vin Diesel, they should use this guy

sat down and watched it...would have given it a 10/10 if it had conroy & hamill doing the voices. it felt weird not hearing them

9/10 for me

Agreed on Conroy & Hamill, but the voice acting was still solid.

Captain Pike has a pretty good Batman voice. He can pinch hit for Conroy if he's not available on future videos.

John Di Maggio was good as Joker, but he shouldn't give up his day job as Bender.

Both films were ficticious whereas Raging Bull was based on a true story and hense true events. The man was world champion in the 40's so I suppose it maybe deserved some attention. I'm not even disagreeing with you that the story wasn't as moving as other classics but in this case you need to look past that and enjoy the artistic materpiece Scorsese delivers.

Raging Bull is my 2nd all time favorite film. It has absolutely everything going for it. The story is simple but still interesting and interesting is good.

Exactly. And watch people always throw around the word, "iconic" around here. Bruce Lee in this suit was iconic, J.Sparrow, iconic, this character, iconic...that character, iconic. It's to the point where the word has no value.

GOD was not a very good movie. The action was boring and the fighting scenes were mediocre.

If you want to say that Lee's look in that yellow suit was cool...fine.

Otherwise, there is nothing about that film that makes it a classic or up to snuff with some of his other work. Which BTW, was not that great. Lee the philosopher, martial artist...as the figure standing along, the individual, was remarkable and truly a gift to the world. His on the screen stuff left a lot to be desired. Groundbreaking only because he was truly skilled and could translate that to the screen, but lets not get it twisted, he was no silver screen Oscar performer who just captivated the imagination.

The Delta Force (Chuck Norris) -- 4/10. It had its moments, and I'm a sucker for counterterrorist movies ... but it was just too goofy.

The hijacking plot was ill-conceived ... nobody hijacks a commercial airliner with two guys, and then plans to load the rest of the hijackers after they land. Ridiculous plan. There are three cabins on the plane ... how are you going to watch the whole plane with two guys?

The rescue mission was a cluster. I like cheesy action movies, but when you name it "Delta Force", you should do better on the tactical stuff. I'm not a military guy ... so when I can tell your tactics and battle plan are screwed-up, they're really screwed-up.

Delta Force (who, by the way, don't call themselves "delta force" -- let alone identify themselves as "delta" to a civilian) is an elite COVERT counterterrorist team. These guys, lead by a 65-year-old fogey, rode around Beirut in broad daylight on militarized lunar rovers wearing black commando gear. Chuck Norris, his usual badass self, was pretty much by-himself riding a missile-launching motorcycle (never out, never reloaded) around Beirut while the rest of the team rescued hostages.

The extraction plan was apparently to pile all the hostages back into the hijacked commercial airliner and fly the Delta team and the hostages to Israel together on a commercial jet. No C-130. Didn't even bother taking the airport or securing the runway. The old fogey actually asked the Captain "you got enough fuel to get us to Israel?". What if the answer was "no"? "Uhh ... well dammit."

The soundtrack was an 80s sythesized nightmare. I remember these type of movies being a lot cooler when I was 6 years old. This is a movie that might be really good if they remade it with some actual SFOD-D guys consulting (to add some realism) ... the overall plot wasn't that bad if they'd address the tactical stupidity on both sides. Put Chuck Norris in it somewhere.

Tron Legacy: I have vague memories of watching the original (I was seven at the time), and really don't remember much about it. However, I loved this movie. Spectacular visually, and the score by Daftpunk was perfect. It looked great on Blu-Ray on my 72" 1080p HD TV, but this is one that I regret missing on IMAX 3D. Story was not its strength, but I liked the interaction between father and son. And of course, Jeff Bridges is great in anything. 9 / 10.

Gnomeo and Juliet: Took the family to see it at a local second run theater and was surprised by how good this was. Despite the polish and marketing muscle of the bigger studios, I preferred this to Hop and Despicable Me. 8 / 10.

Galaxy of Terror - 6/10

I haven't seen this movie in at least 25 years. It's both awful and great at the same time. An obvious ALIEN rip-off without a real alien, a lot of terrible dialog, and maggot rape! :horror But how could you go wrong with a cast like this: Erin Moran, Robert Englund, Sid Haig, Ray Walston and Grace Zabriskie.

James Cameron did the Production Design, and it's one of the real positives of the movie.

To be honest, I have mixed feelings with Pepe. I don't know whether to love him or to see him brutally killed :lol

Case 39- 7/10
The girl in it did an awesome job of selling the innocent victim, and then maniacal psycho. Worth a watch if you're into thriller/horror movies, but it's nothing extraordinary or original.

Harry Potter and the deathly Hallows part 1- 8.5/10
I felt this was the better one released in the past few years, and for me it was the fact that it finally got away from Hogwarts School, and allowed the story and main characters to develop without so many side stories going on to show how the school and other students have been doing. I've actually been waiting until the movies have been getting released on BD, but I might actually go to the theaters to see the second part with the wife because they did such a good job of setting it up in this movie.

That's just stupid....because no matter who was going to make it, it was ALWAYS going to be a musical...because...IT'S BASED OFF ONE.

So no matter who made it, it would've been a musical. With the same songs, the same scenes, the same everything. It would've never had potential for you.

Winter's Bone - 4/10. This was up for an Academy Award for best picture? Ugh. Pretensious film school crap. However, I will say that Jennifer Lawrence was excellent in it, as was the underrated John Hawkes. I actually watched this because I wanted to see how Lawrence was as an actress, since she's been cast as Katniss in Hunger Games. Sadly, while I think she's a terrific actress, I think she's woefully mis-cast. Normally, I don't think the age of actors is that big of a deal, but considering how critical the age of Katniss and the other participants in the Hunger Games is, someone that is 21 trying to play 16 just isn't going to work. After seeing the guys they've cast as Peeta and Gail, and with Gary Ross as the director, I have a bad feeling that this is going to get turned into Twilight Meets Running Man.

Agree, was the first time watching for me and I loved it!

I loved the fact it was

Unlike Jesse James movies of the past, Andrew Dominik's film is presented as a psychoanalytical historical epic rather than a shoot-'em-up western. The movie details the outlaw's deteriorating psyche during his final months of life as he slowly succumbs to paranoia and develops a precarious friendship with his eventual assassin, Robert Ford. The strange relationship between the two men is examined over the course of the film.

Affleck and Pitt were sensational as was Sam Rockwell

Never Let Me Go: 7/10

Pretty good. Great mood. Visually stunning. Also very sad. Not "The Road" depressing, just overall melancholy.

It also felt a little rushed in the sense that it felt like there was more to the story than what they filmed. Since it was based on a novel, I can see more time being spent in the different acts, along with more subplots. In the movie you only get a hint at them. But it's a slow enough movie to begin with, so I can see why they didn't delve deeper.

Toy Story 3: 7/10 not the best of the 3 and more creepy than i was expecting but still good. That monkey that watches the cameras was over the top.

I think this is a pretty fair score. I don't like x-men at all, and I didn't like any of the other movies. But I like wolverine, especially his look in this movie. I love it. I also don't care about what they did to deadpool. It makes more sense than the comic deadpool's origin.

Watched this movie a second time, and enjoyed it more. I had to have my friends explain to me everything, because I still didn't get it all, and there's still things I don't get.
